Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit substrate and a manufacturing method thereof. Particularly, the invention relates to a coreless circuit substrate and a manufacturing method thereof.
- a chip package carrier is one of commonly used packaging components.
- the chip package carrier is, for example, a multi-layer circuit board, which is mainly formed by alternately stacking multiple circuit layers and a multiple dielectric layers, where the dielectric layer is disposed between any two adjacent circuit layers, and the circuit layers can be electrically connected to each other through plating through holes (PTHs) or conductive vias passing through the dielectric layers.
- PTHs plating through holes
- conductive vias passing through the dielectric layers. Since the chip package carrier has advantages of fine circuit layout, compact assembly, and good performance, it becomes a mainstream of chip package structures.
- a circuit structure of the multi-layer circuit board is fabricated according to a build up method or a laminated method, so as to achieve features of high circuit density and small wiring space. Since a super-thin substrate has inadequate rigidity, a substrate with a certain thickness has to be first provided to serve as a support carrier. Then, a large amount of adhesives is coated and multiple circuit layers and multiple dielectric layers are alternately arranged on two opposite surfaces of the substrate. Then, the adhesive is removed to separate the circuit layers, the dielectric layers from the substrate, so as to form two multi-layer circuit boards separated to each other.
- a blind hole is first formed to expose the circuit layer under the dielectric layer. Then, a copper layer is electroplated in the blind hole and on the dielectric layer through an electroplating method, so as to form another circuit layer and the PTH or the conductive via.
- the substrate with a certain thickness hast to be provided to serve as the support carrier of a copper foil layer according to the conventional technique, if a material of the substrate is a metal material, material cost thereof is relatively high, so that manufacturing cost of the multi-layer circuit board is increased. Moreover, a large amount of adhesive is required for fixing the copper foil layer and the substrate, so that the adhesive is hard to be removed, and a production yield cannot be improved.
- the circuit layer formed through electroplating copper thickness evenness thereof is poor, so that when the required thickness of the circuit layer is relatively thin, a thinning process (for example, an etching process) is required to reduce the thickness of the circuit layer. Therefore, not only the manufacturing steps of the multi-layer circuit board are increased, the production yield of the multi-layer circuit board is also reduced.

- The invention relates to a circuit substrate and a manufacturing method thereof. Particularly, the invention relates to a coreless circuit substrate and a manufacturing method thereof.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- In a current semiconductor manufacturing process, a chip package carrier is one of commonly used packaging components. The chip package carrier is, for example, a multi-layer circuit board, which is mainly formed by alternately stacking multiple circuit layers and a multiple dielectric layers, where the dielectric layer is disposed between any two adjacent circuit layers, and the circuit layers can be electrically connected to each other through plating through holes (PTHs) or conductive vias passing through the dielectric layers. Since the chip package carrier has advantages of fine circuit layout, compact assembly, and good performance, it becomes a mainstream of chip package structures.
- Generally, a circuit structure of the multi-layer circuit board is fabricated according to a build up method or a laminated method, so as to achieve features of high circuit density and small wiring space. Since a super-thin substrate has inadequate rigidity, a substrate with a certain thickness has to be first provided to serve as a support carrier. Then, a large amount of adhesives is coated and multiple circuit layers and multiple dielectric layers are alternately arranged on two opposite surfaces of the substrate. Then, the adhesive is removed to separate the circuit layers, the dielectric layers from the substrate, so as to form two multi-layer circuit boards separated to each other. Moreover, when the PTH and the conductive via is about to be formed, after a dielectric layer is formed, a blind hole is first formed to expose the circuit layer under the dielectric layer. Then, a copper layer is electroplated in the blind hole and on the dielectric layer through an electroplating method, so as to form another circuit layer and the PTH or the conductive via.
- Since the substrate with a certain thickness hast to be provided to serve as the support carrier of a copper foil layer according to the conventional technique, if a material of the substrate is a metal material, material cost thereof is relatively high, so that manufacturing cost of the multi-layer circuit board is increased. Moreover, a large amount of adhesive is required for fixing the copper foil layer and the substrate, so that the adhesive is hard to be removed, and a production yield cannot be improved. In addition, regarding the circuit layer formed through electroplating, copper thickness evenness thereof is poor, so that when the required thickness of the circuit layer is relatively thin, a thinning process (for example, an etching process) is required to reduce the thickness of the circuit layer. Therefore, not only the manufacturing steps of the multi-layer circuit board are increased, the production yield of the multi-layer circuit board is also reduced.
- The invention is directed to a circuit substrate and a manufacturing method thereof, which can reduce manufacturing steps and production cost, and improve production yield to improve reliability of products.

above metal layers - In detail,
FIG. 3A toFIG. 3P are cross-sectional views illustrating a manufacturing method of a circuit substrate according to another embodiment of the invention. Referring toFIG. 3A , in the manufacturing method of the circuit substrate, first, twometal layers 310′ and 310″ are provided, where themetal layer 310′ is formed by a firstcopper foil layer 310 a and a secondcopper foil layer 310 b located on the firstcopper foil layer 310 a, and themetal layer 310″ is formed by a thirdcopper foil layer 310 c and a fourthcopper foil layer 310 d located on the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c. The secondcopper foil layer 310 b is partially bonded to the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d through an adhesive 320. Namely, the adhesive 320 is located between the secondcopper foil layer 310 b and the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d, and is partially adhered to the secondcopper foil layer 310 b and the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d. Moreover, the firstcopper foil layer 310 a and the secondcopper foil layer 310 b thereon can be regarded as a coreless structure layer. Similarly, the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c and the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d thereon can be regarded as a coreless structure layer. - In the present embodiment, a thickness of the second
copper foil layer 310 b is substantially greater than a thickness of the firstcopper foil layer 310 a, where the thickness of the firstcopper foil layer 310 a is, for example, 3 μm, and the thickness of the secondcopper foil layer 310 b is, for example, 12 μm. The thickness of the firstcopper foil layer 310 a is substantially the same to a thickness of the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c, namely, the thickness of the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c is also 3 μm. The thickness of the secondcopper foil layer 310 b is substantially the same to a thickness of the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d, namely, the thickness of the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d is also 12 μm. The secondcopper foil layer 310 b can be used to support the firstcopper foil layer 310 a. Similarly, the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d can be used to support the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is unnecessary to use a metal substrate to serve as a support carrier as that does of the conventional technique, so that manufacturing cost can be effectively reduced. Moreover, the adhesive 320 is, for example, cyanoacrylate ester (which is generally referred to as 3 second glue) or polypropylene resin (i.e. PP glue). It should be noticed that in the present embodiment, although the adhesive 320 is used to bond the secondcopper foil layer 310 b and the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d, in other embodiments that are not illustrated, the secondcopper foil layer 310 b and the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d can also be bonded by welding copper foil, and now the adhesive 320 is melted copper foil. Here, such bonding method is still belonged to a pattern within the scope of the invention. - Then, referring to
FIG. 3B , a plurality of first throughholes 332 extending from the firstcopper foil layer 310 a to the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c is formed. Namely, the first throughholes 332 at least pass through the firstcopper foil layer 310 a, the secondcopper foil layer 310 b, the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d and the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c. In the present embodiment, a method of forming the first throughholes 332 includes mechanical drilling. - Then, referring to
FIG. 3C , a first insulatinglayer 350 a and a firstconductive layer 342 located on the first insulatinglayer 350 a are laminated to the firstcopper foil layer 310 a, and meanwhile a second insulatinglayer 350 b and a secondconductive layer 344 located on the second insulatinglayer 350 b are laminated to the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c. In the present embodiment, the first insulatinglayer 350 a and the second insulatinglayer 350 b respectively face to the firstcopper foil layer 310 a and the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c, and during the lamination, a part of the first insulatinglayer 350 a and a part of the second insulatinglayer 350 b are filled in the first throughholes 332 to fill up the first throughholes 332. Moreover, a material of the firstconductive layer 342 and the secondconductive layer 344 is, for example, copper. - Particularly, in the present embodiment, a thickness of the first insulating
layer 350 a plus a thickness of the firstconductive layer 342 is greater than the thickness of the firstcopper foil layer 310 a plus the thickness of the secondcopper foil layer 310 b. The thickness of the first insulatinglayer 350 a is, for example, 40 μm, and the thickness of the firstconductive layer 342 is, for example, 18 μm. Similarly, a thickness of the second insulatinglayer 350 b plus a thickness of the secondconductive layer 344 is greater than the thickness of the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c plus the thickness of the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d. The thickness of the second insulatinglayer 350 b is substantially the same to that of the first insulatinglayer 350 a, which is, for example, 40 μm, and the thickness of the secondconductive layer 344 is substantially the same to that of the firstconductive layer 342, which is, for example, 18 μm. - Then, referring to
FIG. 3D , a plurality of second throughholes 334 extending from the firstconductive layer 342 to the secondconductive layer 344 is formed, where the second throughholes 334 at least pass through the firstconductive layer 342, the first insulatinglayer 350 a, the firstcopper foil layer 310 a, the secondcopper foil layer 310 b, the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d, the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c, the second insulatinglayer 350 b and the secondconductive layer 344. Moreover, the second throughholes 334 can be used to assist removing the adhesive 320 in a follow-up process, namely, removing a bonding area of the secondcopper foil layer 310 b and the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d. Generally, the firstconductive layer 342 and the secondconductive layer 344 may respectively have a plurality of metal patterns (not shown), and the metal patterns can serve as reference points for positioning and alignment in follow-up processes. Namely, the metal patterns of the firstconductive layer 342 and the secondconductive layer 344 can serve as a reference for positioning and aligning the firstcopper foil layer 310 a and the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c, and can serve as a reference for positioning and aligning a fifthcopper foil layer 310 e (shown inFIG. 3G ). - Then, referring to
FIG. 3E , the firstconductive layer 342 and the secondconductive layer 344 are patterned to form afirst circuit layer 342 a and asecond circuit layer 344 a, where a method for patterning the firstconductive layer 342 and the secondconductive layer 344 includes a photolithography etching process. Particularly, since the firstconductive layer 342 and the secondconductive layer 344 are respectively laminated to the first insulatinglayer 350 a and the second insulatinglayer 350 b, and are patterned to form thefirst circuit layer 342 a and thesecond circuit layer 344 a, compared to the conventional technique of forming a circuit layer through electroplating, thefirst circuit layer 342 a and thesecond circuit layer 344 a of the present embodiment has better copper thickness evenness. Moreover, since the firstcopper foil layer 310 a, the secondcopper foil layer 310 b, the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c and the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d of the present embodiment are all embedded in the first insulatinglayer 350 a and the second insulatinglayer 350 b due to thermal lamination, when the firstconductive layer 342 and the secondconductive layer 344 are patterned, contaminations of external impurities and reagents can be avoided, so as to maintain sizes and thickness of the firstcopper foil layer 310 a, the secondcopper foil layer 310 b, the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c and the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d. - Then, referring to
FIG. 3F , the adhesive 320 is removed to form afirst circuit substrate 360 a and asecond circuit substrate 360 b separated from each other. In the present embodiment, the second throughholes 334 can be used to assist removing the adhesive 320. Namely, by forming the second throughholes 334, adhesion between the adhesive 320 and the secondcopper foil layer 310 b and the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d can be spoiled, so as to easily remove the adhesive 320. Moreover, a method of removing the adhesive 320 is, for example, mechanical drilling or milling treatment. It should be noticed that in the present embodiment, since the adhesive 320 is partially bonded between the secondcopper foil layer 310 b and the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d, compared to the conventional technique of removing a large amount of adhesive between a circuit layer and a metal substrate, the step of removing the adhesive 320 of the present embodiment is simple and has a low difficulty, so that a production yield can be improved. - In the present embodiment, the
first circuit substrate 360 a and thesecond circuit substrate 360 b formed after the adhesive 320 is removed are symmetric structures. Thefirst circuit substrate 360 a sequentially includes thefirst circuit layer 342 a, the first insulatinglayer 350 a, the firstcopper foil layer 310 a and the secondcopper foil layer 310 b. Thesecond circuit substrate 360 b sequentially includes thesecond circuit layer 344 a, the second insulatinglayer 350 b, the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c and the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d. For simplicity's sake, only thefirst circuit substrate 360 a is taken as an example to describe follow-up fabrication processes of the circuit substrate. - Referring to
FIG. 3G , the secondcopper foil layer 310 b is removed, and a thirdinsulating layer 350 c and the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e on the third insulatinglayer 350 c are laminated to thefirst circuit layer 342 a. In the present embodiment, a method of removing the secondcopper foil layer 310 b is, for example, a lift-off method, namely, the lift-off method is used to peel off the secondcopper foil layer 310 b from the firstcopper foil layer 310 a. Moreover, the third insulatinglayer 350 c and the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e are laminated to thefirst circuit layer 342 a, so that thefirst circuit layer 342 a is changed to an internal circuit layer. Namely, thefirst circuit layer 342 a is embedded between the third insulatinglayer 350 c and the first insulatinglayer 350 a. In addition, the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e is laminated to thefirst circuit layer 342 a with a reference of the metal patterns (not shown) on thefirst circuit layer 342 a (the original first conductive layer 342), so as to ensure that the firstcopper foil layer 310 a, thefirst circuit layer 342 a and the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e have a better alignment accuracy. - Generally, a thickness of the fifth
copper foil layer 310 e is relatively thin, which is, for example, 3 μm, so that when the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e is to be laminated, a copper foil layer with relatively thick thickness (not shown) is generally added on the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e first, where the thickness thereof is, for example, 12 μm, so as to prevent a bending phenomenon of the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e after the lamination, and maintain a surface flatness of the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e. Then, after the lamination, the copper foil layer with the relatively thick thickness is peeled off, and the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e with the relatively thin thickness is remained for follow-up processes. - In brief, the third insulating
layer 350 c and the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e located on the third insulatinglayer 350 c are laminated to thefirst circuit layer 342 a after the adhesive 320 is removed. However, a sequence of the steps of laminating the third insulatinglayer 350 c and the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e located thereon and removing the adhesive 320 is not limited by the invention. In other embodiments, the third insulatinglayer 350 c and the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e located on the third insulatinglayer 350 c can be laminated to thefirst circuit layer 342 a before the adhesive 320 is removed. - In detail, referring to
FIG. 4A , the third insulatinglayer 350 c and the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e located on the third insulatinglayer 350 c are first laminated to thefirst circuit layer 342 a, and meanwhile a fourth insulatinglayer 350 d and a sixthcopper foil layer 310 f located on the fourth insulatinglayer 350 d are laminated to thesecond circuit layer 344 a. Then, as shown inFIG. 4B , the adhesive 320, the secondcopper foil layer 310 b and the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d are removed to form athird circuit substrate 400 c and afourth circuit substrate 400 d separated from each other. Thethird circuit substrate 400 c and thefourth circuit substrate 400 d formed after the adhesive 320, the secondcopper foil layer 310 b and the fourthcopper foil layer 310 d are removed are symmetric structures, where thethird circuit substrate 400 c sequentially includes the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e, the third insulatinglayer 350 c, thefirst circuit layer 342 a, the first insulatinglayer 350 a and the firstcopper foil layer 310 a. Similarly, thefourth circuit substrate 400 d sequentially includes the sixthcopper foil layer 310 f, the fourth insulatinglayer 350 d, thesecond circuit layer 344 a, the second insulatinglayer 350 b and the thirdcopper foil layer 310 c. In other words, the sequence of the steps of laminating the insulating layer and the copper foil layer located thereon to the circuit layer and removing the adhesive 320 can be selectively adjusted according to an actual requirement, so that the steps shown inFIG. 3F toFIG. 3G are only used as an example, and the invention is not limited thereto. - Now, the fabrication of the
first circuit substrate 400 a is completed, where thefirst circuit substrate 400 a sequentially includes the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e, the third insulatinglayer 350 c, thefirst circuit layer 342 a, the first insulatinglayer 350 a and the firstcopper foil layer 310 a. - Then, referring to

In the present embodiment, by using the first patterned dryfilm photoresist layer 432 and the second patterned dryfilm photoresist layer 434 as masks for electroplating, theelectroplating copper layer 440 is formed in the firstblind holes 412, the secondblind holes 414 and on thechemical copper layers 420 that are not covered by the first patterned dryfilm photoresist layer 432 and the second patterned dryfilm photoresist layer 434 through a via filling plating method. - Then, referring to
FIG. 3L , the first patterned dryfilm photoresist layer 432 and a part of thechemical copper layer 420 and a part of the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e located under the first patterned dryfilm photoresist layer 432 are removed, and the second patterned dryfilm photoresist layer 434 and a part of thechemical copper layer 420 and a part of the firstcopper foil layer 310 a located under the second patterned dryfilm photoresist layer 434 are removed, so as to expose a part of the third insulatinglayer 350 c and a part of the first insulatinglayer 350 a, and form first conductiveblind hole structures 412 a in the firstblind holes 412 and form second conductiveblind hole structures 414 a in the secondblind holes 414.

Now, the first conductiveblind hole structures 412 a and the second conductiveblind hole structures 414 a electrically connected to thefirst circuit layer 342 a are formed. - Then, referring to
FIG. 3M , afirst passivation layer 452 is formed on the third insulatinglayer 350 c, and asecond passivation layer 454 is formed on the first insulatinglayer 350 a. In the present embodiment, thefirst passivation layer 452 covers the third insulatinglayer 350 c and the first conductiveblind hole structures 412 a exposed on the third insulatinglayer 350 c for protecting pattern integrity of the first conductiveblind hole structures 412 a. Similarly, thesecond passivation layer 454 covers the first insulatinglayer 350 a and the second conductiveblind hole structures 414 a exposed on the first insulatinglayer 350 a for protecting pattern integrity of the second conductiveblind hole structures 414 a. Moreover, a method of forming thefirst passivation layer 452 and thesecond passivation layer 454 is, for example, screen printing, and a material of thefirst passivation layer 452 and thesecond passivation layer 454 is, for example, ink. - Then, referring to
FIG. 3N , a grinding process is performed to remove a part of thefirst passivation layer 452 to expose surfaces of the first conductiveblind hole structures 412 a and remove a part of thesecond passivation layer 454 to expose surfaces of the second conductiveblind hole structures 414 a. Now, a surface of thefirst passivation layer 452 is substantially aligned to the surfaces of the first conductiveblind hole structures 412 a, and a surface of thesecond passivation layer 454 is substantially aligned to the surfaces of the second conductiveblind hole structures 414 a. - Then, referring to
FIG. 3O , the remainedfirst passivation layer 452 and thesecond passivation layer 454 are removed to expose a part of the third insulatinglayer 350 c, the first conductiveblind hole structures 412 a exposed on the third insulatinglayer 350 c, a part of the first insulatinglayer 350 a and the second conductiveblind hole structures 414 a exposed on the first insulatinglayer 350 a. In the present embodiment, a purpose of the sequential steps of forming thefirst passivation layer 452 and thesecond passivation layer 454, performing the grinding process and removing thefirst passivation layer 452 and thesecond passivation layer 454 is to obtain better surface flatness of the surfaces of the first conductiveblind hole structures 412 a and the surfaces of the second conductiveblind hole structures 414 a, so as to facilitate follow-up processes and a chip packaging process. - Then, referring to
FIG. 3P , a firstsolder mask layer 462 is formed on the third insulatinglayer 350 c, and a secondsolder mask layer 464 is formed on the first insulatinglayer 350 a. In the present embodiment, the firstsolder mask layer 462 has a plurality offirst openings 462 a, where thefirst openings 462 a expose a part of the first conductiveblind hole structures 412 a, which can be used as bonding pads. The secondsolder mask layer 464 has a plurality ofsecond openings 464 a, where thesecond openings 462 a expose a part of the second conductiveblind hole structures 414 a, which can be used as bonding pads. Now, fabrication of acircuit substrate 300 is completed. - Since a part of the first conductive
blind hole structures 412 a exposed by thefirst openings 462 a of the firstsolder mask layer 462 can be used as the bonding pads, and a part of the second conductiveblind hole structures 414 a exposed by thesecond openings 464 a of the secondsolder mask layer 464 can be used as the bonding pads, when a chip (not shown) is electrically connected to the bonding pads through a wire bonding manner or a flip chip bonding manner, and after a colloid filling mold is used to encapsulate the chip in a colloid (not shown), the chip packaging process is completed. In other words, thecircuit substrate 300 of the present embodiment is adapted to serve as a chip packaging carrier. - In brief, in the present embodiment, since it is unnecessary to use a metal substrate to support the first
copper foil layer 310 a and the secondcopper foil layer 310 c, compared to the conventional technique, the manufacturing method of thecircuit substrate 300 of the present embodiment can effectively reduce the fabrication cost. Moreover, since the firstconductive layer 342 and the secondconductive layer 344 are laminated, and are patterned to form thefirst circuit layer 342 a and thesecond circuit layer 344 a, compared to the conventional technique of forming a circuit layer through electroplating, thefirst circuit layer 342 a and thesecond circuit layer 344 a of the present embodiment has better copper thickness evenness. In addition, thefirst circuit layer 342 a (the original first conductive layer 342) is used as a reference for positioning and aligning the firstcopper foil layer 310 a and the fifthcopper foil layer 310 e. In this way, alignment accuracy of thecircuit substrate 300 can be effectively improved, so as to achieve better production yield and reliability of thecircuit substrate 300. - In summary, in the invention, the peripheries of two metal layers are first bonded to form a sealed area. After lamination of two insulating layers and two conductive layers is completed, the two metal layers are separated. Therefore, compared to the conventional technique, the manufacturing method of the circuit substrate of the invention does not require a metal substrate to serve as a support carrier, namely, a coreless circuit substrate is achieved, which may effectively reduce the manufacturing cost of the circuit substrate and improve reliability thereof, and effectively reduce a time required for manufacturing the circuit substrate. Moreover, in the invention, it is unnecessary to use a large amount of adhesive to fix a metal substrate and a circuit layer as that does of the conventional technique, so that the manufacturing method of the circuit substrate of the invention does not have a problems of removing the large amount of adhesive, so that fabrication difficulty and fabrication steps can be effectively reduced. Moreover, in the invention, the conductive layers can be laminated, and then the conductive layers can be patterned to form the circuit layers.
